I am using Wowza Media Server to enable streaming of MP4 files and as video player I use Flowplayer.
To get some structure for my content I use sub directories within the configured StorageDir for my Wowza application.
The problem I have is that no matter what URL-format I use, Wowza keep looking for the file in the root storage directory.
I‘ve tried using the URL format specified by Wowza here, but with no luck:
rtmp://[wowza-ip-address]/myapp/_definst_/mp4:mysubdirectory/sample.mp4
I also tried everything suggested in posts on the Wowza forum:
- https://www.wowza.com/community/questions/327/mp4-streaming-from-application-sub-directory.html
- https://www.wowza.com/community/questions/215/subfolders-in-application-content-folder.html
But Wowza keeps looking in the root storage directory, throwing exceptions like these:
404 b0c9be70-a33c-41ce-9692-199e3a1caccf.mp4
open: java.io.FileNotFoundException:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Wowza Media Systems\Wowza Media Server 3.6.2\content\b0c9be70-a33c-41ce-9692-199e3a1caccf.mp4.flv
(The system cannot find the file specified)
Somehow Wowza thinks it should look for an FLV file in the root storage directory, even though the URL specify that it is an MP4 file in a subdirectory. Why is that?
